Monique Huston began her spirits career over two decades ago at the Dundee Dell in Omaha, Nebraska where she helped build and educate across one of the largest whisky and spirits collections in the world. An avid spokesperson and educator, Huston has served as a spirits judge and panelist at events and competitions around the world, and been featured in the Whisky Advocate, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal. In addition to membership in many industry groups, she has been inducted into the exclusive international society, the Keepers of the Quaich, focused on outstanding commitment to the Scotch Whisky industry.

She proudly serves on the advisory board of the Council of Whisky Masters, WSWA’s Craft Spirits Access advisory panel, and as a board member of the Tequila Interchange Project. Passion for whisky has led to deep exploration of the incredible, terroir-driven spirits of Mexico – her second great love. Monique is the Vice President – Spirits Portfolio for Winebow Fine Wine + Spirits, a national importer and distributor.
